ben afleck told me he didn't want to make a political film, but unless producers had some sort of crystal ball, there's no way they could have known that "argo" would come just a month after the deadly attack on a u.s. diplomat in libya, an incident that's raised so many concerns over security. agents shout they need more security while under attack. and cnn's been reporting secretary of state hillary clinton tried to douse a big political fire storm monday for taking responsibility of u.s. diplomats security also saying neither the president nor vice president would be knowledgeable of security decisions at that level. with that, brooke, it's safe to say the administration didn't want a dramatic portrayal of a u.s. embassy under attack hit theaters a month before the election. as for the film it's gotten great reviews and earned $20 million coming in second over the weekend, brooke. >> it's on my list for sure. add to "argo," "zero dark 30." we talked about this. it chronicles the hunt for osama bin laden. it has moved back its release date even you know farther away from the election. w

probably the biggest, you know, effective blow ever landed in a vice presidential debate was lloyd ben son against dan yale in 1988. you're no jack kennedy. didn't affect the outcome of the race. what matters here is the democrats have to re-establish a case both on the offense and really the defense. what they want to do and the port rat they want to paint of the republicans. president obama really failed to do either one of those things. he failed to identify a compelling second term agenda that he wants to put out, and he really didn't identify or reinforce the arguments that his ticket has made against the republicans for months, and i think there will be enormous pressure on the vice president to kind of move both of those lines of argument forward tonight. >> do you think we're going to hear from the vice president some of the things that the president did not mention, the 47% comment that mitt romney made, the role of bain capital, the issue of how much he pays in taxes? >> well, i think some of the things about romney himself. >> he has made arguments like that, repeatedly, doz
